Remedial classes help bring students up to speed without slowing down students who performed better in high school. It’s always been true that not every student who graduates High School received the same education as their peers who went to a different school. Being behind doesn’t not necessarily mean you’re bound for a doomed college experience.

Students grow up a lot during their college years, and part of that growing up is recognizing this is the time in your life to work hard because it may be your last opportunity to get a quality education.

The students that don’t take advantage of it will drop out, the students that do will have been given an opportunity they otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s all around a good thing to give students more opportunities and let them decide if it’s right for themselves.
